Marigolds are very much in love
But he doesn't mind
Picking up sister
He makes his way into the see-saw land
All the way up she smiles
She goes up as he goes down...down

Sits on a stick in the river
Laughter in his sleep
Sister's throwing stones hoping for a hit
He doesn't know, so then
She goes up while he goes down...down

Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day

She's selling plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon
Picking up weeds
She hasn't got the time to care
All can see he's not there
She grows up for another man, and he's down

Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
